[WSG CMS] MySource Matrix?

2006-11-15 Thread Patrick H. Lauke

I recently came across MySource Matrix. As it appears to be used by the
AGIMO, I was wondering if anybody on the list here has been using it at
all? And further, how accessible is the admin interface itself (not the
output of the system)? The site mentions WCAG, but I didn't spot any
reference to ATAG...

Cheers,

Re: [WSG CMS] MySource Matrix?

Hi Patrick

I've used MySource Matrix on a couple of sites. The backend consists  
of three frames. The one for navigating the site uses a Java Applet.  
Selecting an asset (page) to edit causes an HTML page to load in one  
of the other frames.


IMOH the backend is a rather clunky and could benefit from using AJAX  
instead of frames and a Java Applet. On the plus side it's the only  
enterprise ready open source CMS that I know about (page history,  
approval workflow, separate live and edit page versions, etc). If  
you're a large organisation with records keeping and accessibility  
requirements (any government department) then it's probably what you  
want. For smaller sites it's overkill.

I know the WA State Library recently selected it... I'm not sure if Nick
Cowie is on this list but he's on the main WSG list, his research was
instrumental in their decision.
